Tribute to Celeste Rodrigues (1923-2018)

Boasting a career that spanned seven decades, Celeste Rodrigues is admired by several generations of Fado singers. She sang in Lisbon’s finest Fado houses and was one of the first Fado singers to perform outside the country. She was – and is – a highly cherished artist, and she was honored on several occasions while she was alive. She passed away last year, but her figure and her voice are still a source of inspiration for many. On March 21, renowned Fado singers and friends of Celeste will meet at CCB to sing her repertoire in a well-deserved tribute.
